Hi Anthony,

That is what I have now in the AR-22.  Problem is that it has no brake, has
a north stop and I don't think it's quite big enough to turn the somewhat
heavier quad.  It also only moves in 6 degree increments which I would like
to change.  <GRIN>

Thanks for the feedback though to you and all.  Very 73.

Hi Kevin;

Maybe I'm missing something.

A lot of years ago I remember someone I knew was in c-b and he had a control
box that rotated a beam.

Anyway, the control box had a knob with a pointer and, depending on which
way the pointer was pointing, like the hour hand on a clock that's the
direction that the antenna was pointing.

Is their something that needs to be more accessible than that?
